The coldest temperature recorded in the world was -89.2°C (-128.6°F) at Станция Восток (Stantsiya Vostok) (Station East), Antarctica on 1983-07-21.

The record that's often quoted as the world's hottest temperature was 58°C (136°F) at El Azizia, Libya on 1922-09-13. The temperature was highly inaccurate for several reasons. The main reason was that it was measured over tarred concrete. The temperature probably never exceeded 120°F (49°C) on that day.

The next quoted record would be 134°F (57°C) at Furnace Creek Ranch (called Greenland Ranch at the time), Death Valley, California, United States of America on 1913-07-10. However, at that time official stations in the United States of America all measured 3.5 feet (1.0668 meters) off the ground. Today stations in the U.S.A. measure at 4 to 6 feet (1.2192 to 1.8288 meters). According to the World Meteorological Organization, temperature should be measured 1.25 to 2 meters (4.1010 to 6.5617 feet) off the ground.

The hottest reliably measured temperature in the world was 129°F (54°C) at Furnace Creek Ranch, Death Valley, California, U.S.A. on 1960-07-20, 1998-07-18, 2005-07-20, and 2007-07-07.
